Be Inspired

Have you been skiing with one of our guides, thinking to yourself: I wish this was my job? Becoming a heli-skiing guide is definitely more difficult than you think, so let’s have a look what it takes!

Summer makes the Southern Alps more accessible and opens the area up for all kinds of activities. Walking, hiking and climbing are just a some to name a few, there is just so much to do!

Don't you already miss it? The feeling of fresh powder underneath your skis or board, the cold winter air in your lungs and snowy summits around you? We do too and that's why we thought of the ultimate list of things to do to fight those blues. 

Our heli-skiing guests come from all around the world and while we celebrate Christmas in summer, many of them sit in front of their fireplace while it's snowing outside. But that is not the only difference in traditions. Every country celebrates Christmas in their own unique way and we are having a look at some of the most interesting traditions.

This week we take a look at the stories of brave mountaineers, Maori legends and tectonic plates that form the history of our beautiful Southern Alps.

2018 was our 40th anniversary and the season was definitely worth a celebration. Great snow, bluebird days and some unexpected spring dumps: winter, we will miss you!

When the heli-skiing season in New Zealand is over, all our guides head out on new adventures. Whether it's Antarctica, India, Alaska or New Zealand: they know how to keep themselves busy!

Mountains, snow and unique people: New Zealand has always had all the ingredients to be a mecca for wintersports. But how did it all begin?

The past month has been full of epic conditions, happy clients and record days.
